I went to open my wallet and my security software is blocking a connection. Because it's a Security Risk. The IP is 50.22.136.18

My understanding is that like Bitcoin and Litecoin, Goldcoin is a P2P based software.
Basically anyone that downloads the client becomes a potential node. The IP address you listed I believe belongs to a user running the Goldcoin client. This is not an issue with the client.
My recommendation would be to make an exception for the client in your security software.

Thanks for the info. It's the first time I had that happen so I had no idea what was going on. So I thought I'd post it just in case there was something wrong. Always better to be safe than sorry.
